That part, perhaps, hurts the most since it undermines the introduction of Jango Fett and Boba Fett. The mystery behind the creation of the clone army and Count Dooku's nefarious involvement, setting the rise of the Empire into motion, is not as engaging as it at first would seem. However, whatever few positives are scattered throughout this 142-minute production are quickly hampered by more mind-numbingly boring political debates, not only within the Senate but also within the Jedi Council. Of most interest - to me, at least - is witnessing the fall of the Republic's democratic system, Chancellor Palpatine's rise to dictatorial power before revealing his more sinister intentions and the specifics paving Anakin's road to the dark side of the Force. Granted, there are some important, relevant details in this follow-up that decently expand upon the overall saga and the Skywalker legacy, such as, and arguably most meaningfully, seeing Anakin and Padmé's budding love affair and the first major battle of the infamous Clone Wars. He returned to the director's chair for a sequel and even more shockingly, somehow made the second chapter in the prequel trilogy worse than its predecessor. In Attack of the Clones, George Lucas did something unprecedented.
